Visiting other cities in Cities XL

From what I read you could have visited other players cities online. What happens if you visit the city and the player logs off? Do you get kicked out of the city?

That doesn't matter, since the multiplayer mode in CXL2009 has long since been shut down. The new versions of the game are completely offline.

But just out of interest how did it work?

I never played the online mode so I don't know. I assume you could have stayed.

I played the demo and in it you could visit Capital City in Avatar Mode. So you could just look around the other city as an avatar.

And it lagged terribly.

As far as I remember, you could literally browse the cities on your planet (which at the time belonged to many different players, not only you), then choose one and 'enter' it. You appeared as an Avatar in one of the Avatar Parks, and then from Street view you could walk around and even interact with other avatars (if there were any around).

BTW, the Avatar mode is still in the code, it's simply disabled for now. You could use it to walk around your own cities, I guess..... although Street view would do the absolutely same thing
